짜증나 I mean, what the f...? I start a new part-time teaching job at SK. They give me a book to teach, I go in on the day I'm asked to work, conduct a lesson that seems successful - students are talking, it's relaxed, friendly. Next class only 5 students are there, we continue with the text, even enjoy some light humor, it seems good. Monday's class is cancelled then I get a call Tuesday to say they want a new teacher. Seems like my style is too much like a University class , yeah, we're actually learning something. But they are jealous of the other class who have a young woman teaching them. Ah, well I just can't compete. How did I slip through the net? there's a reason all those ads specify female only."
This after a gratifying day yesterday with good positive feedback from my Kookmin students who tell me they are enjoying my classes and teaching style. Then, this morning, after a mammoth effort preparing a thorough Powerpoint based class for the new 8 am group, that's right 8am (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for 4 weeks) that also seemed to go down well. About 30 students. Well you never can tell it seems appearances can be deceiving. Guess I'll have to wait and see about this one.
Problems with my ressurected ebay account, finding it blocked after three years of non-use - who has been using my account?? And sorting through the labyrinthine process of applying to do a course at Macquarie next year, the precursor to a PhD hopefully. Late in life but, better late than never I suppose.
